Alluminium or fibreglass ? if all people tend to make their own, a wide range of companies can supply the Panels I believe the MK, MAC 1 Start Taylor
etc etc fit you do need to check the height of the side rails though as this is a deciding factor, some people raise this to allow fitment of a taller
engine
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I recently bought a hood off a GBS Zero - and I noticed that the zero 'door threshold' slopes (my Luego doesn't - so the hood etc
didn't fit spot on) so if yours drops there, it may be worth checking with them? I know they do ally and S/S ones.

Try 907 on here..... aka Paul Gooderham, there is nothing he can't make out of metal, built his own car out of ally.
And his not far from you, Essex Suffolk boarders, Between Clare & Sudbury.

Gts make a set for there Panther that are a direct fit.
Good quality ( for a kitcar ) good fit and at a fare price.
Do a search before spending your money and make your choice.
On the other hand a custom alloy set from (Paul) 907 would be crisp as his work is very nice

Darren's been out of circulation for a while, I used to sell a few bits for him on here, but I haven't been in contact with him for three
months.
He was due to go into Hospital for an operation which will have laid him up for quite a few weeks. So may not be able to help you.

Going to make them myself.
Probably just hand laminate some carbon on a sheet of flat glass and vacuum bag after. Creating a large sheet, which I will then trim to size. Going
to make molds for the bonnet and rear arches, won't be for a while yet though.....

No, I am doing it purely for looks. And I have worked with CF for a long time so find it (composites) fairly easy.
I really like the look of that car, thanks for posting it. Still, you dont see many, and I was sort of meaning mid engined locosts.....
